Astronomers, including Avi Loeb, propose that the mysterious 'little red dots' observed by the James Webb Space Telescope are tiny, slow-spinning galaxies formed in low-spin dark matter halos, offering insights into early galaxy formation and black hole development.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered mysterious tiny, bright galaxies called 'little red dots' from when the universe was just one billion years old. A new study suggests these objects formed in rare, slowly spinning dark matter halos, explaining their compact size, brightness, and timing, and offering insights into early galaxy and black hole formation.
Astronomers propose that the mysterious 'little red dots' observed in the early universe are formed in very slowly spinning dark matter halos, which create extremely compact galaxies, explaining their unique properties and rarity during the cosmic dawn.
